Frankel returns

FRANKEL will return in the Group 1 JLT Lockinge Stakes at Newbury in two weeks' time after pleasing trainer Sir Henry Cecil in a racecourse gallop at Newmarket on Saturday.

Owned by Khalid Abdullah, Frankel returned to the scene of his most famous and most devastating victory in last year's Qipco 2,000 Guineas to work over 7½f with stablemates Bullet Train and Jet Away.
Having lookedmore settled than last year on his way to the start, Frankel was keen enough in the early stages before stretching away instantaneously when allowed by jockey Tom Queally inside the final two furlongs.

Cecil said: "Frankel enjoyed himself and he stretched out nicely when he went on in the last two furlongs.

"The plan is to go to Newbury with him and I was very pleased with that. We will give him a couple more pieces of work before then."

Unbeaten in nine starts, Frankel's return had been in jeopardy a few weeks ago when he sustained a leg injury during another gallop. However, he was cleared after a scan and has shown no ill effects since.

Queally added on Racing UK: "He is moving 100 per cent and that was exactly what we were looking for."

CIRRUS DES AIGLES will not contest the Singapore Airlines International Cup next Sunday as his trainer believes the trip could damage the horse's chance at Royal Ascot next month.

Trained by Corine Barande-Barbe, Cirrus Des Aigles landed the Group 1 Dubai Sheema Classic on his last trip abroad in Dubai in March before following up an eight-length win in the Group 1 Prix Ganay last time.

The six-year-old had been under consideration for the 1m2f Group 1 SIA Cup at Kranji with a tilt at the Prince Of Wales's Stakes - and possibly Frankel - after.

A report from the Singapore Turf Club said: "Trainer Corine Barande-Barbe made the decision to withdraw him after it was felt travel plans to Singapore and return were too difficult, putting in jeopardy his assault on next month's Royal Ascot meeting in England."

Cirrus Des Aigles, who also holds entries in the Investec Coronation Cup and Coral-Eclipse, was successful over the Prince Of Wales's course and distance in the Qipco Champion Stakes last year.
